Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[nara1892]

Manchester Unites do have other alternatives if they fail to get Onana. Even now, Manchester United's offer to get Onana has been rejected by Inter Milan. Because Manchester United made an offer below the price set by Inter Milan. Manchester United made an offer of 40 million euros and a bonus of 5 million euros and was rejected by Inter Milan who wanted 50 million euros plus a bonus of 10 million euros. And I think the Manchester United side did not just give up. They will surely make another offer. Because Erik Ten Heg really seems to see Onana as the most suitable candidate for the pattern of play that has been built by Ten Heg at Man United at the moment. But if the next bid fails, then maybe then Ten Heg will switch to other Alternative options.

It looks like there are a lot of problems facing Man United regarding the transfer market this season, namely that besides being difficult to complete the Onana deal, Erik Ten Hag also has a limited budget so offer after the offer is not seen as too aggressive. Inter wants this amount and it should be that if he does, Erik Ten Hag wants Onana to seriously make a decision as soon as possible rather than in the end Inter getting an agreement from another club to bring Onana. When viewed from other competitors, especially clubs that finished at the end of the season, such as Arsenal and Newcastle, did not experience the problems that Man United experienced. I've heard rumors that Al Nassr will disrupt Man United by joining the hunt for Onana. But I can't say for sure whether the rumors are true or not because so far if Al Nassr is ready to compete, Man United will need to act more quickly.

Due Liverpool not participants in Champion League next seems difficult for signing Mbappe and actually highest fees transfer have to pay for PSG, has unique clause between Mbappe and PSG if extend one year or stay until his contract will get bonuses from 60 to 90 million euro and Liverpool won't to pay that bonuses if want sign Mbappe. Liverpool need to find right replacement for position leaving by Firmino but Mbappe almost difficult for signing before his contract over with PSG.

Jurgen Klopp not worry about their attacking line exactly current transfer after success signing Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig with €70 million fees transfer, Jurgen Klopp looks priority with midfielder position than forward after success signing two best midfielder right now from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

It is necessary to understand that the conclusion is still up in the air even though talk about Liverpool search for a Firmino replacement and the possibility of signing Mbappe never ends. Liverpool undoubtedly has significant financial resources but it seems like Mbappe is more interested in playing for Madrid and La Liga than for Liverpool and the English Premier League. Discussing this issue is made more difficult by the never ending flood of absurd rumours generated by some media outlets. Realistically Liverpool will have a difficult time obtaining Mbappe services for Anfield due to the hefty price PSG has set. So it stands to reason that if Mbappe were to leave Paris Saint Germain his most likely destination would be Madrid where he might find a better fit and a league more compatible with his goals.

Liverpool is a great team and for me the best of all Premier League regarding the way they conduct their game play,they attack really fast,completely different from Manchester City but this has also big risks back and that is why Liverpool defense conceded so many goals this past season.However a player of Mbappe caliber would be more interested to play for a team that have won the Champions League trophy more than any other team as he has already achieved a lot of titles at Paris in league 1,most likely Liverpool won't go as far as Real Madrid in Champions League and that is why I think he will choose Madrid but if he doesn't and comes to Liverpool that is the biggest hit for the Premier League upcoming season.

I think things may not be as the same for Manchester City in next season because other teams are trying much as possible best to strengthen their team because they already know how tough Manchester City is. Teams like Chelsea, Manchester United and  Arsenal won't be easy with Manchester City next season, so if these things are trying to bring the best squad I don't think it will be easy for Manchester City to have that strength to defeat this strong squad coming up in these teams.

City could not keep Gundogan in the team, this is perhaps a very significant loss for Guardiola, even a salary increase did not help, but Gundogan was more interested in the duration of the contract and Barca offered him a contract for two years. It's hard to say how significant Gundogan's absence will be for City, but he was without a doubt one of the most important players in Guardiola's scheme. But there are no irreplaceable people, so Guariliola will find a replacement for Gundogan.

Gundogan departure to Barcelona wouldn't be a serious issue for Guordiola he is one of the best manager in the world thus he can easily replace Gundogan role in the team, I think Gundogan personal desire to play for Barcelona when the opportunity came up was responsible for his departure thus issue of contract improvement isn't the problem, however recall when Man City was having issue with left backs in the squad yet he allowed Joan Cancelo to join Bayern Munich on a loan deal despite that Guordiola still won the treble, issue of key players leaving a strong club and with a perfect replacement of such players is one of the yardstick in rating a very good manager thus the team will still remain formidable next season.

It's true that Pep Guardiola is a great coach and although he missed Gundogan going to Barcelona, it seems that Guardiola is also ready to regenerate the Manchester City squad. We know that Gundogan is no longer young and it is possible that next season we will see Kevin De Bruyne's turn to leave Manchester City. Everything is well understood by Guardiola to determine the composition that is suitable for Manchester City's strategy next season and maybe we will still see Manchester City will sign two or three more players this summer.

[hahay]

MU has an alternative for onana. Onana was a priority, but it doesn't mean MU shall only focus on him.
I prefer to see MU get one from these keepers, Justin Bijlow or Kevin Trapp.

Kevin Trapp played awfully, Bundesliga clubs easily to humiliated him.

Justin Bijlow played good in Eredivisie, but his recent performance in Euro was not good. But I think your speculation could be right because he's a Netherlands player, it's a privilege as Ten Hag is favor to sign Netherlands player.

If there's no high quality player, then the another option is looking for Netherlands player.

Also, Kevin Trapp's age is no longer ideal to be Manchester United's main goalkeeper because after all, Kevin Trapp is currently only 32 years old. So yes, I am also sure that Manchester United will certainly not sign Kevin Trapp, because I think Manchester United are also certainly looking for a goalkeeper for the long term and not just for one or two seasons. But about Justin Bijlow, I think this could be a great option because after all, Justin Bijlow also succeeded at Feyenoord by winning titles and trophies in the Eredivisie last season. Moreover, Justin Bijlow still has a long future so yes, I think this Justin Bijlow can be a good choice for Manchester United to be Manchester United's goalkeeper for the long term.

[Jody.Drummer]

Manchester United's movement in transfers encountered obstacles where they did not have enough money to bring in players, as a result they had to really choose players who would contribute of course at low prices. While now the players they are after have high prices, so they have to consider very seriously.

I think Erik Ten Hag will be given the freedom to sign players this season, but it turns out that he has several obstacles that require him to be extra economical. with a limited budget, it will not be easy for a coach to create the squad he wants, and it is definitely a homework where he has to rack his brains, how can he have the dream squad with limited money.

[JeffBrad12]

LFC is still in talks with lavia's agent. That's quite interesting what's gonna be strategy used by klopp. Klopp was buying a lot of players this season. A bit surprised that if liverpool also rumored prepare a bid for mbappe. I hope this will come true.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1673268652437565441

I think that lavia is very close to join in liverpool right now. It seems like that deal is still going on but it may reached agreement with lavia very soon.
LFC is very ambitious in building the new squad right now. The bad result last season has forced club to play in europa league. It will be a shame if liverpool will not able to win it.

Will the story of nunez and gakpo gonna repeat again?

[Helena Yu]

Gundogan departure to Barcelona wouldn't be a serious issue for Guordiola he is one of the best manager in the world thus he can easily replace Gundogan role in the team, I think Gundogan personal desire to play for Barcelona when the opportunity came up was responsible for his departure thus issue of contract improvement isn't the problem, however recall when Man City was having issue with left backs in the squad yet he allowed Joan Cancelo to join Bayern Munich on a loan deal despite that Guordiola still won the treble, issue of key players leaving a strong club and with a perfect replacement of such players is one of the yardstick in rating a very good manager thus the team will still remain formidable next season.

Left back position isn't really crucial, although Manchester City still don't have pure left back, but it's more easier to replace Cancelo's position. While Gundongan's position can only be replaced with Kevin De Bruyne, but Pep choose to let De Bruyne and Gundongan play at the same time, maybe it's more stronger and wouldn't completely depend on one player. If De Bruyne injured or he run out of his stamina, Pep need to find the solution. Maybe we will see Alvarez would play in central attacking midfielder?

[Pokapoka124]

The Premier League is the toughest competition in the world and very dynamic. Manchester City, which is the defending champion three times in a row, will certainly face a real challenge again from several contestants who have prepared their squad more deeply. But of course Guardiola is not afraid of that, he will still respect every opponent.

But in my opinion Manchester City will dominate the Premier League again, how come Pep Guardiola has made a very solid foundation and difficult to overthrow. At the moment City's line-up is extraordinary and they also have a very strong mentality.

The premier league used to be the toughest football competition but now Manchester have turned it into a farmers league, they have dominated the league for six consecutive years now winning the league title five in six years and going ahead to win a treble last night. How do you beat such a team? Manchester City has changed the premier league and other clubs are now spending huge amounts on players so they can match the fierce competition.

[Dzwaafu11]

In your opinion, which team is the most worthy to compete with Manchester City? Arsenal or Manchester United?
Or maybe Liverpool who eyeing some top strikers like Victor Osimhen, can not imagine if Liverpool managed to sign him.

I believe Liverpool will be the biggest competition Manchester City will face for the league.
I don't see Manchester United as a team that will be comfortably among the top 4. They might be there but they will struggle to keep up.
I know its still too early to predict but I feel the top 4 will be Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle/Manchester United in that order
Liverpool really mean business and they are giving Klopp the backing he needs. If they succeed in signing Osimhen then they will be a fearful team. With the right service Osimhen can score a lot of goals and they already have Salah who is a very good goal scorer. With Osimhen and Salah Liverpool will have two players that guarantee 25 league goals each a season.

The English Premier League title I think will be closely contested cone next season. Manchester City without doubt are the favorites to retain it but I think Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea would definitely bounce back come next season.
That been said, Manchester City already has a complete team that can challenge for the title while the rest of the big teams in England still need to strengthen some positions in their team. So I think the other team's performance next season will be hugely affected by how well they performed in the transfer market

Manchester United is really going to be one big contender for the premier league cup come next season. The team Ten Hag has developed, although it still needs a few players to strengthen the team, will compete against Manchester city, will chew down Arsenal and Liverpool and Chelsea would beg for draw, should Osimhen decide to join them.
I hardly doubt Osimhen would make the move. Chelsea might be better fit or better option considering their style and need for a comeback.

You see, in my opinion, I don't think we can forecast which team will dominate the sport in the upcoming season, or, let me put it another way, which team will do better than other teams. Although many people believe Manchester City will continue to do well the next season, I disagree. Remember that this is football and that anything can happen. I don't see why people assume they would continue playing the way they did in the previous season when there are more than five other clubs vying for the same championship. What about Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and other teams? Do you really think Chelsea and Manchester United won't regain their previous levels of performance? The team should return to form in the upcoming season, in my opinion.

But before making a prediction about which team will win the trophy, I think we should wait and observe which one performs better in the upcoming season.

[Pokapoka124]

Aston Villa recent season steady play which saw them finish in seventh position and qualify for the European Conference League demonstrated their potential as a dangerous group. It is realistic to anticipate that manager Unai Emery would try to strengthen the team for the upcoming season despite the fact that their transfer activity has been relatively quiet thus far with only the signing of Youri Tielemans on a free transfer. Ferran Torres is one player they have their eyes on since he has the potential to greatly improve their attacking capabilities. Especially noteworthy is that Torres seems to be unnecessary in Xavi Barcelona plans giving Aston Villa a promising chance to get him. Newcastle who are also interested in signing the gifted forward might present a challenge. It will be interesting to see which club prevails in the competition for this much desired striker.

Unai Emery did the unexpected, taking Aston Villa to European competition next season. Who would have thought this could be possible in such a short time but Emery has made it possible. The signing of Touri Tielemans will bring improvement to the team’s play and will help create a balance too. I really like the job Emery is doing at Aston Villa and I think other average clubs should take some lessons and put efforts in building their squads. It  shouldn’t be much of a trouble getting Ferran Torres to sign for Aston Villa as long as the figures are right.

I don't even know the reason why crystal palace is taking hodgson as manager. He is too old. He shall have retired from being a manager for football club. I don't even know why he is still accepting a job from crystal palace to manage the club.
What a timeless coach. He has become the oldest coach in EPL. Crystal palace can take a talented coach instead of signing grandpa as a coach for next season.
It's hard to accept the truth but with his age and hodgson will not give change for crystal palace. He has limitation to think so hard about bulding a proper strategy.

Snip.

It's true that Pep Guardiola is a great coach and although he missed Gundogan going to Barcelona, it seems that Guardiola is also ready to regenerate the Manchester City squad. We know that Gundogan is no longer young and it is possible that next season we will see Kevin De Bruyne's turn to leave Manchester City. Everything is well understood by Guardiola to determine the composition that is suitable for Manchester City's strategy next season and maybe we will still see Manchester City will sign two or three more players this summer.

Gundogan departure for Barcelona did not bother Guardiola with the condition of Manchester City's midfield for next season, he still has several other quality midfielders to rely on, especially since Manchester City have just brought in Kovacic from Chelsea. Players in a team always come and go, Guardiola, who has a lot of experience, is not too burdened by this condition.

Manchester City, which has just won the treble winner, cannot be separated from Guardiola ingenuity in selecting players to fill out the Manchester City squad. Kevin De Bruyne has improved rapidly under Guardiola, he has been polished to become a star player who has always been a part of Manchester City main squad. Guardiola can put players in an ideal position that makes him comfortable while playing, there are so many stars that Guardiola successfully orbited during his time as a coach. He can always find suitable substitutes to fill the positions left by players who go to other clubs, besides that regeneration needs to be done to rejuvenate the squad he leads.

If one claim to be good and a god of football, they will not take the short way to success I believe. In the space of 4 years back, Liverpool has won the Champions League and they reached the final last year against Real Madrid, they played like it was their final moment in football but Real Madrid won by a goal, I don't see any reason why he will prefer Real Madrid over Liverpool. If Haaland and De Bruyne all have this mentality when they came to Premier League, they wouldn't have the rating they had this year because people would believe that such a club is used to winning it and it is not a big deal. If you say Mbape is going to Real Madrid because of money, then I will say aye!

This is slightly wrong; why do i say so? Liverpool generally had a poor and inconsistent season; but their attackers did not underperform, instead Liverpool struggled in midfield and Defense and Klopp has been wise to work on those weakness in the summer transfer window.

Salah ended the season with 46 goal contributions, Darwin Núñez ended the season with 19 goal contributions, Gakpo has 10 goal contributions (joined in january). Klopp has done the needful with the Liverpool midfield, next season; the squad will flourish

Currently, Klopp is still monitoring the transfer market to see which players he can buy so he can make Liverpool stronger next season. Because Klopp still needs some great players for lines other than those occupied by Darwin Núñez and Gakpo so that they can create more valid collaborations within their squad next season. Apart from that, Klopp must also have a slightly different strategy from the previous season so that rivals can have a little difficulty reading Liverpool's style of play.

I don't think it was an issue that they had with strategies in their game. It was the lack of dedication and will power to achieve something. Strategy is one piece of a whole set of factors that make a team successful. Even if they had a good strategy, it wasn't the Liverpool that we are used to. Extremely aggressive and nonstoP pressing from the first minute till the last, high speed counter attacks and goal scoring efficiency. In the last season I could hardly see any of those things. They need to improve many aspects of their game and if the dedication comes back and the hunger for success, the right strategy is also important.

It's a shame that Erik Ten Hag's plans for this summer's transfer market have had a negative impact. had the takeover taken place, the Ten Hag would have had enormous funds. instead, he was forced to work within the £120 million budget of the Grazers. As stated by British pundit, Rio Ferdinand is adamant that the Glazers were the reason behind the delay in the takeover. which in the end, greatly influenced the movement of Ten Hag in this summer's transfer window.

There is no ideal choice, like it or not Ten Hag and Murtough have to take into account every player they will bring to Old Trafford. apparently, there will be a wave of anger from The Red Devil fans. moreover, if the Glazers are still making it difficult for Qatar to acquire. but actually United have another option, Ten Hag will get additional funds from the sale of some of his players. moreover, if the players are bought by Saudi clubs. at least, more ideal than offering it to the European league clubs, and even then if the Saudi players and clubs are willing. By the way, don't get your hopes up that United will sign some of Europe's top players if the acquisition of club ownership is still in the works.

I'm sure Liverpool will find a replacement for Firmino and not sure Mbappe will move to Liverpool even though Liverpool have quite a lot of money, because it seems Mbappe is more interested in Madrid than Liverpool and playing in the EPL, talking nonsense seems to never end that's why a lot of media who continues to force things that are difficult to discuss like this. after all Liverpool will not be able to buy Mbappe from PSG.

I'm sure PSG charge high or expensive fees so it's difficult for Liverpool to bring him to Anfield, but even so the club that makes the most sense is madrid and I'm sure Mbappe even though he will move from the PSG club he will play in madrid more than in any other league including Liverpool EPL.

Relax, it's certain that Mbappe will prefer Real Madrid to Liverpool and the cheap rumors circulating now that link Mbappe to Liverpool feel like a passing wind later. The media is only exaggerating the news and maybe they are bored if they just keep discussing Mbappe with Real Madrid, so they make new rumors that are baseless and that go straight to Liverpool.

If we think that this rumor is true maybe we will see Liverpool really terrible with Mbappe and that could be the thing that makes teams in the EPL very scared to face him. But indeed, as everyone knows, Mbappe's current transfer fee is more expensive than before and it is likely that no other team, including Liverpool, will dare to bid for Mbappe except Real Madrid.

This is exactly what I am thinking as well, all these rumors about him going to Liverpool seems like a fake news and will probably not happen. We just need to realize that this is just a game between PSG-Mbappe-R.Madrid at this moment and we are just waiting to see which one of them will win this game. I do not know what's going to happen but Real is not willing to pay 200+ million for him, and Mbappe wants at least 150 million to be paid back to him.

So, negotiation should be PSG wanting more from Madrid and/or pay less to Mbappe to leave, and if that doesn't work then we are going to see Mbappe leaving for free next summer and that means he is going to end up not being loved by fans or the management or even the coaches for the rest of the whole season.

So far, at least Liverpool have managed to recruit Szoboszlai from Leipzig and also, Mac Allister from Brighton, both in the same position as an attacking midfielder. Well, it seems quite clear that Klopp really prioritizes strengthening Liverpool's midfield for next season. Because yes, if Liverpool have midfielders who have high creativity then of course, Liverpool will be able to make attack after attack. But even so, I hope Liverpool's defense will also remain strong and solid. Because that way, it will certainly make Liverpool have a great chance to become a candidate for the title in the Europa League. Also, it will make Liverpool strong in competing in the top four in the English Premier League standings.
